Heh. That doesn't mean I *remember* it :-)

But yes, I see in commit 12c942383296bd626131241c012c2ab81b081738 the
comment "convert some keywords.c symbols to KEYWORD_P to prevent
conflict".

Based on that, I should probably change it back, right? I just tried a
patch for it and it compiles and checks just fine with the _P parts
removed.
